Spika Pack-lite scalpel replacement blades

Just picked up one of the above in H&F (yeah I know - but I had a voucher to spend)

It has a replaceable blade system, (yeah I know), but I thought it might actually be useful for that occasional skinning job, and my usual blade isn’t up to the task.

So - is anyone else using one - and have you found a replacement scalpel blade that fits the handle?

It’s a 7cm blade and is branded Spika 01

I suspect there will be a standard surgical type blade available, provided I get the handle size and blade shape corrrect….

Google isn’t helping me much ……. can anyone here?

It looks like a standard #60 blade to me...Attachment 190231


But just had a closer look and the #60 doesn't have that little nub at the bottom of the handle end poking out . I assume it is to assist blade removal but is it actually required due to your handle ?
On mine it has that little cutout on the back of the
blade arm you can see in pic to allow blade removal .

From the look of it it appears to be about identical to the ones for my Havalon Piranta. I’d expect most of those style knives to have a relatively standardised blade. I use a 60A blade in my Havalon. There was a thread on this section a couple months ago about replaceable blade knives like these- I do recall that the AliExpress knives in the thread used the same blades as my knife.

A quick look at my comment history will find you the thread easily enough.

It's a 60a blade the a designates the tab. Havalon make that model. Most 60 style blades will work its just safer and easier to remove with the tab.
